TADDM’s 3 Key Benefits
Enabling the IT Service Mgmt user to : Learn how
their CIs are configured and changing over time
• Configuration Auditing
Automatically tracks
changes on all CIs &
attribute values over time…
– Tracks changes in
applications
– Depicts that information

TADDM’s 3 Key Benefits
Enabling the IT Service Mgmt user
to : Determine if it is compliant
• Compliance
– Compare configuration
to “reference master”

TUAM Components
• Administration Server
– Based on an administration tool that runs inside an embedded WebSphere
Application Server
– Installed on the TUAM server that runs DB2
• Processing Server
– TUAM processing engine applies business rules to the data and stores
information in the database
– Typically installed on the same server that runs the Administration Server, but
can be split for load balancing
• Reporting Server
– TUAM reporting is supported by Business Intelligence and Reporting Tool
(BIRT), which is tool that runs in the Eclipse environment and can be installed
on AIX, Linux or Windows
• Database Server
– Stores information produced by the processing engine.
– Does not have to run on the same server as the processing engine
– DB2 V9.1, included with TUAM installation cds.
